Hi guys,
I have a Gigabyte 81915ME GL motherboard, Intel Pentium4-3.00Ghz processor and 1GB DDR ram. I've planned to purchase a new gfx card for my PC and i'm not able to find out if my motherboard would support the gfx card i've planned to buy. Could someone guide me through this. Im planning to go for GeForce 8600GT 256mb or GeForce 7600GT 256mb.

if pci-e is there then yes it supports 8600
if pci-e isn't there, then no it doesn't supports neither 8600 nor 7600

i dont expect 8600 to perform to full potention in this board . it's got a pcie x4 slot . its only expanded to the physical size of a pciex16 slot.

the board is based on intel 915 GL chipset which doesnt officially support pcie x16 . they have somehow got both pciex4 and agp slots ( GEAR SLOT ).

neway , there may be no guarentee that the card WILL be supported. u have to ask if some1 has tried and/or contact support team of gigabyte . but even if it does the card will under perform..
